The roster additions don’t stop following the final pick of the NBA draft. Undrafted free agency is another avenue teams utilize to add to their roster. The pool of talent is large as teams go after players who were selected in either two rounds.
The Oklahoma City Thunder partook in the frenzy with the addition of undrafted free agent Caleb McConnell, who signed on an Exhibit-10 deal, per Rutgers.

Exhibit-10 deals give teams the option to look at someone before they commit to them on a two-way deal. This means McConnell will have summer league and likely preseason to convince OKC to add him onto their roster as a two-spot player.
The 24-year-old spent five college seasons at Rutgers from 2018 to 2023. In 28 games last season, he averaged 9.1 points on 39.5% shooting, 5.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists. He also shot 20.3% from 3 on 2.3 attempts.
He previously posted about his workout with the Thunder on his Instagram story on June 11.
